Fixes#11458
Some complex, nested fields were receiving incorrect field paths and
schema paths, leading to a `"Error: No client field found"` error.
This PR ensures field paths are calculated correctly, by matching it to
how they're calculated in payload hooks.
Query Presets allow you to save and share filters, columns, and sort
orders for your collections. This is useful for reusing common or
complex filtering patterns and column configurations across your team.
Query Presets are defined on the fly by the users of your app, rather
than being hard coded into the Payload Config.
Here's a screen recording demonstrating the general workflow as it
relates to the list view. Query Presets are not exclusive to the admin
panel, however, as they could be useful in a number of other contexts
and environments.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1fe1155e-ae78-4f59-9138-af352762a1d5
Each Query Preset is saved as a new record in the database under the
`payload-query-presets` collection. This will effectively make them
CRUDable and allows for an endless number of preset configurations. As
you make changes to filters, columns, limit, etc. you can choose to save
them as a new record and optionally share them with others.
Normal document-level access control will determine who can read,
update, and delete these records. Payload provides a set of sensible
defaults here, such as "only me", "everyone", and "specific users", but
you can also extend your own set of access rules on top of this, such as
"by role", etc. Access control is customizable at the operation-level,
for example you can set this to "everyone" can read, but "only me" can
update.
To enable the Query Presets within a particular collection, set
`enableQueryPresets` on that collection's config.
Here's an example:
```ts
{
// ...
enableQueryPresets: true
}
```
Once enabled, a new set of controls will appear within the list view of
the admin panel. This is where you can select and manage query presets.
General settings for Query Presets are configured under the root
`queryPresets` property. This is where you can customize the labels,
apply custom access control rules, etc.
Here's an example of how you might augment the access control properties
with your own custom rule to achieve RBAC:
```ts
{
// ...
queryPresets: {
constraints: {
read: [
{
label: 'Specific Roles',
value: 'specificRoles',
fields: [roles],
access: ({ req: { user } }) => ({
'access.update.roles': {
in: [user?.roles],
},
}),
},
],
}
}
}
```

Previously, if you were querying a collection that has a join field with
`draft: true`, and the join field's collection also has
`versions.drafts: true` our db adapter would still query the original
SQL table / mongodb collection instead of the versions one which isn't
quite right since we respect `draft: true` when populating relationships
This is already supported in Postgres / SQLite.
For example:
```
const result = await payload.find({
collection: 'directors',
depth: 0,
sort: '-movies.name', // movies is a relationship field here
})
```
Removes the condition in tests:
```
// no support for sort by relation in mongodb
if (isMongoose(payload)) {
return
}
```
Passes the `i18n` arg through field label and description functions.
This is to avoid using custom components when simply needing to
translate a `StaticLabel` object, such as collection labels.
Here's an example:
```ts
{
labels: {
singular: {
en: 'My Collection'
}
},
fields: [
// ...
{
type: 'collapsible',
label: ({ i18n }) => `Translate this: ${getTranslation(collectionConfig.labels.singular, i18n)}`
// ...
}
]
}
```
Previously, our job queue system relied on `payload.*` operations, which
ran very frequently:
- whenever job execution starts, as all jobs need to be set to
`processing: true`
- every single time a task completes or fails, as the job log needs to
be updated
- whenever job execution stops, to mark it as completed and to delete it
(if `deleteJobOnComplete` is set)
This PR replaces these with direct `payload.db.*` calls, which are
significantly faster than payload operations. Given how often the job
queue system communicates with the database, this should be a massive
performance improvement.
## How it affects running hooks
To generate the task status, we previously used an `afterRead` hook.
Since direct db adapter calls no longer execute hooks, this PR
introduces new `updateJob` and `updateJobs` helpers to handle task
status generation outside the normal payload hook lifecycle.
Additionally, a new `runHooks` property has been added to the global job
configuration. While setting this to `true` can be useful if custom
hooks were added to the `payload-jobs` collection config, this will
revert the job system to use normal payload operations.
This should be avoided as it degrades performance. In most cases, the
`onSuccess` or `onFail` properties in the job config will be sufficient
and much faster.
Furthermore, if the `depth` property is set in the global job
configuration, the job queue system will also fall back to the slower,
normal payload operations.

This PR updates the email validation regex to better handle use cases
with hyphens.
Changes:
- Disallows domains starting or ending with a hyphen
(`user@-example.com`, `user@example-.com`).
- Allows domains with consecutive hyphens inside (`user@ex--ample.com`).
- Allows multiple subdomains (`user@sub.domain.example.com`).
- Adds `int test` coverage for multiple domain use case scenarios.
### What?
Extends our dataloader to add a momiozed payload find function. This way
it will cache the query for the same find request using a cacheKey from
find operation args.
### Why?
This was needed internally for `filterOptions` that exist in an array or
other sitautions where you have the same exact query being made and
awaited many times.
### How?
- Added `find` to payloadDataLoader. Marked `@experimental` in case it
needs to change.
- Created a cache key from the args
- Validate filterOptions changed from `payload.find` to
`payloadDataLoader.find`
- Made `payloadDataLoader` no longer optional on `PayloadRequest`, since
other args are required which are created from createLocalReq (context
for example), I don't see a reason why dataLoader shouldn't be required
also.
Example usage:
```ts
const result = await req.payloadDataLoader.find({
collection,
req,
where,
})
```
### What?
Export FieldAccessArgs type.
### Why?
Prevent projects from needing to recreate this type manually and keep it
in sync with changes in payload releases.
### How?
Exports a new type called FieldAccessArg that is then referenced in the
FieldAccess function argument.
This PR updates the email validation regex to enforce stricter rules.
- Disallows emails containing double quotes (e.g., `"user"@example.com`,
`user@"example.com"`, `"user@example.com"`).
- Rejects spaces anywhere in the email (e.g., `user @example.com`).
- Prevents consecutive dots in both local and domain parts (e.g.,
`user..name@example.com`, `user@example..com`).
- Allows standard formats like `user@example.com` and
`user.name+alias@example.co.uk`.

### What?
This PR adds a new error to be thrown when logging in while having
`verify: true` set but no email has been verified for the user yet.
### Why?
To have a more descriptive, actionable error thrown in this case as
opposed to the generic "Invalid email or password." This gives users
more insight into why the login failed.
### How?
Introducing a new error: `UnverifiedEmail` and adjusting the check to be
separate from `if (!user) { ... }`.
Fixes#11358
Notes:
- In terms of account enumeration: this should not be a concern here as
the check for throwing this error comes _after_ the check for valid args
as well as the find for the user. This means that credentials must be on
hand, both an email and password, before seeing this error.
- I have an int test written in `/test/auth/int.spec.ts` for this,
however whenever I try to commit it I get an error stating that the
`eslint@9.14.0` module was not found during `lint-staged`.

### What?
When duplicating a document with `unique` fields, we append `- Copy` to
the field value.
The issue is that this is happening when the field is empty resulting in
values being added that look like: `undefined - Copy` or `null - Copy`.
### Why?
We are not checking the incoming value in all cases.
### How?
Checks the value exists, is a string, and is not just an empty space
before appending `- Copy`.
At first glance it looks incorrect to return required fields with
`undefined` - however when duplicating a document, the new document is
always created as a `draft` so it is not an issue to return `undefined`.
Closes#11373
### What?
When accessing an upload directly from the generated URL, the `read`
access runs but returns undefined `id` and `data`. As a result, any
access conditions that rely on `id` or `data` will fail and users cannot
accurately determine whether or not to grant access.
### Why?
Accessing the file URL runs
`packages/payload/src/uploads/endpoints/getFile.ts`.
In this endpoint, we use `checkFileAccess()` from
`packages/payload/src/uploads/checkFileAccess.ts`.
Within the `checkFileAccess` function we are only passing the `req` to
`executeAccess()`.
### How?
Passes `filename` to the `executeAccess()` function from
`uploads/checkFileAccess`, this is the available data within the file
and will provide a way for users to make a request to get the full data.

Adds a new flag `acceptIDOnCreate` that allows you to thread your own
`id` to `payload.create` `data`, for example:

// doc created with id 1
const doc = await payload.create({ collection: 'posts', data: {id: 1, title: "my title"}})
```
```ts
import { Types } from 'mongoose'
const id = new Types.ObjectId().toHexString()
const doc = await payload.create({ collection: 'posts', data: {id, title: "my title"}})
```

Fixes a problem where we would reset the value of the timezone field on
submission of a new scheduled publish.
Timezones in the table now match with a label if possible.

`Australia/Brisbane` is now part of the default list of timezones
Implements a select-like API into the form state endpoint. This follows
the same spec as the Select API on existing Payload operations, but
works on form state rather than at the db level. This means you can send
the `select` argument through the form state handler, and it will only
process and return the fields you've explicitly identified.
This is especially useful when you only need to generate a partial form
state, for example within the bulk edit form where you select only a
subset of fields to edit. There is no need to iterate all fields of the
schema, generate default values for each, and return them all through
the network. This will also simplify and reduce the amount of
client-side processing required, where we longer need to strip
unselected fields before submission.
### What
This PR ensures that `select` and `radio` field option labels properly
accept and render JSX elements.
### Why
Previously, JSX elements could be passed as option labels, but the type
definition for options only allowed `LabelFunction` or `StaticLabel`,
resulting in type errors. Additionally:
- JSX labels did not render correctly in the list view but now do.
- In the versions diff view, JSX labels were not supported since it only
accepts strings. To address this, we now fallback to the option `value`
when the label is a JSX element.
### What?
Adds a new property to collection / global config `forceSelect` which
can be used to ensure that some fields are always selected, regardless
of the `select` query.
### Why?
This can be beneficial for hooks and access control, for example imagine
you need the value of `data.slug` in your hook.
With the following query it would be `undefined`:
`?select[title]=true`
Now, to solve this you can specify
```
forceSelect: {
slug: true
}
```
### How?
Every operation now merges the incoming `select` with
`collectionConfig.forceSelect`.
This PR fixes an issue where the Sharp `.resize()` function would round
down an auto-scaled dimension when `fastShrinkOnLoad` was enabled
(enabled by default).
This caused slight discrepancies in height calculations in certain edge
cases.
Be default (`fastShrinkOnLoad: true`), Sharp:
- Uses the built-in shrink-on-load feature for JPEG and WebP
- It is an optimization that prioritizes speed over precision when
resizing images
By setting `fastShrinkOnLoad: false`, we force Sharp to:
- Perform a more accurate resize operation instead of relying on quick
pre-shrink methods.
### Before / Context:
- Upload an image with original dimensions of 1500 × 735
- Define an `imageSize` of the following:
```
{
name: 'thumbnail',
width: 300,
},
```
#### Calculation:
`originalAspectRatio = 1500 / 735 ≈ 2.04081632653`
`resizeHeight = 300 / 2.04081632653`
`resizeHeight = 147`
However, Sharp's `.resize()` calculation would output:
`resizeHeight = 146`
This lead to an error of:
```
[17:05:13] ERROR: extract_area: bad extract area
err: {
"type": "Error",
"message": "extract_area: bad extract area",
"stack":
Error: extract_area: bad extract area
}
```
### After:
Sharp's `.resize()` calculation now correctly outputs:
`resizeHeight = 147`
We now have the ability to define all page metadata for the admin panel
via the Payload Config as a result of #11593. This means we can now set
sensible defaults for additional properties, e.g. `noindex` and
`nofollow` on the `robots` property. Setting this will prevent these
pages from being indexed and appearing in search results.
Note that setting this property prevents _indexing_ these pages, but
does not prevent them from being _crawled_. To prevent crawling as well,
you must add a standalone `robots.txt` file to your root directory.
This simplifies and cleans up import map generation and adds support for turbopack, as well as the tsconfig `compilerOptions.basePath` property.
Previously, relative import paths looked like this:
```ts
import { TestComponent as ___ } from 'test/admin/components/TestComponent.js'
```
Paths like these will be resolved based on the `compilerOptions.baseUrl` path of your tsconfig.
This had 2 problems:
### baseUrl support
If your tsconfig baseUrl was not `"."`, this did not work, as the import map generator does not respect it
### Turbopack support
If Turbopack was used, certain import paths were not able to be resolved.
For example, if your component is outside the `baseDir`, the generated path looked like this:
```ts
import { TestComponent as ___ } from '/../test/admin/components/TestComponent.js'
```
This works fine in webpack, but breaks in turbopack.
## Solution
This PR ensures all import paths are relative, making them more predictable and reliable.
The same component will now generate the following import path which works in Turbopack and if a different `compilerOptions.basePath` property is set:
```ts
import { TestComponent as ___ } from '../../../test/admin/components/TestComponent.js'
```
It also adds unit tests
Payload now fully exposes Next.js' metadata options. You can now use the
`admin.meta` config to set any properties that Next.js supports and
Payload will inject them into its `generateMetadata` function call. The
`MetaConfig` provided by Payload now directly extends the `Metadata`
type from Next.js.
Although `admin.meta` has always been available, it only supported a
subset of options, such as `title`, `openGraph`, etc., but was lacking
properties like `robots`, etc.
### What?
When the upload config contains imageSizes, we are forcing the image to
be resized using sharp. This leads to lossy compression even when the
formatOptions and no cropping or focal point selection was made. This
change makes it possible to upload the original image, skipping
compression while still using the imageSizes feature.
### Why?
It should be possible to upload files without compression.
### How?
Changes the conditions to remove imageSizes to determine if sharp image
processing should be applied to the original image or not.
This PR updates the field `validate` function property to include a new
`path` argument.
The `path` arg provides the schema path of the field, including array
indices where applicable.
#### Changes:
- Added `path: (number | string)[]` in the ValidateOptions type.
### What?
Adds new option to disable the `copy to locale` button, adds description
to docs and adds e2e test.
### Why?
Client request.
### How?
The option can be used like this:
```ts
// in collection config
admin: {
disableCopyToLocale: true,
},
```
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11568
### What? Out of sync errors states
- Collaspibles & Tabs were not reporting accurate child error counts
- Arrays could get into a state where they would not update their error
states
- Slight issue with toasts
### Tabs & Collapsibles
The logic for determining matching field paths was not functioning as
intended. Fields were attempting to match with paths such as `_index-0`
which will not work.
### Arrays
The form state was not updating when the server sent back errorPaths.
This PR adds `errorPaths` to `serverPropsToAccept`.
### Toasts
Some toasts could report errors in the form of `my > > error`. This
ensures they will be `my > error`
### Misc
Removes 2 files that were not in use:
- `getFieldStateFromPaths.ts`
- `getNestedFieldState.ts`
This change makes so that data that exists in MongoDB but isn't defined
in the Payload config won't be included to `payload.find` /
`payload.db.find` calls. Now we strip all the additional keys.
Consider you have a field named `secretField` that's also `hidden: true`
(or `read: () => false`) that contains some sensitive data. Then you
removed this field from the database and as for now with the MongoDB
adapter this field will be included to the Local API / REST API results
without any consideration, as Payload doesn't know about it anymore.
This also fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11542 if
you removed / renamed a relationship field from the schema, Payload
won't sanitize ObjectIDs back to strings anymore.
Ideally you should create a migration script that completely removes the
deleted field from the database with `$unset`, but people rarely do
this.
If you still need to keep those fields to the result, this PR allows you
to do this with the new `allowAdditionalKeys: true` flag.
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/10794 added new defaults the config - however, these were only added to the deprecated `defaults` object, which caused our CI to fail. This PR adds them to the new `addDefaultsToConfig` function
This PR adds a top-level `auth` property to the Payload config, where
you can specify a new `jwtOrder` property to dictate, in Payload's local
auth strategy, which JWT extraction methods should be leveraged, and in
which order.
For example, we currently use incoming request headers to retrieve a JWT
in the following order:
1. If there is an `Authorization: JWT ${token}` header
2. If there is an `Authorization: Bearer ${token}` header
3. If there is an HTTP-only cookie with a token present
Now you can define which of these strategies you'd like to support, and
in which order.
Todo:
- [ ] Docs
- [ ] Tests
Previously when `authenticate` method from an authentication strategy
failed it stopped execution of the current request in
`createPayloadRequest` which isn't a good behavior.
Right now it completely prevents the admin panel from loading:
<img width="637" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7a6ca006-7457-4f9f-8746-7b3f52d65583"
/>
Now, each `strategy.authenticate` call is wrapped into `try` / `catch`,
if an error happens we use `logError` to correctly log that error by its
logging level.
### What?
Regression caused by https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11433
If a beforeChange hook was checking for a missing or undefined `value`
in order to change the value before inserting into the database, data
could be lost.
### Why?
In #11433 the logic for setting the fallback field value was moved above
the logic that cleared the value when access control returned false.
### How?
This change ensures that the fallback value is passed into the
beforeValidate function _and_ still available with the fallback value on
siblingData if access control returns false.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11543
Adds a new `admin.disableBlockName` property that allows you to disable
the blockName field entirely in the admin view. It defaults to false for
backwards compatibility.
This PR updates the field `condition` function property to include a new
`path` argument.
The `path` arg provides the schema path of the field, including array
indices where applicable.
#### Changes:
- Added `path: (number | string)[]` in the Condition type.
- Updated relevant condition checks to ensure correct parameter usage.
Cleans up various Payload-generated configs, namely:
- Renames config entry files from `preferencesCollection.ts`,
`lockedDocumentsCollection.ts`, and `jobsCollection.ts` to `config.ts`
- Standardizes collection slugs for `payload-preferences`,
`payload-locked-documents`, and `payload-jobs` and reuses everywhere
- Renames camel-cased `payloadPreferences` directory to kebab case, i.e.
`payload-preferences`
### What?
This PR adds ability to define indexes on several fields for collections
(compound indexes).
Example:
```ts
{
indexes: [{ unique: true, fields: ['title', 'group.name'] }]
}
```
### Why?
This can be used to either speed up querying/sorting by 2 or more fields
at the same time or to ensure uniqueness between several fields.
### How?
Implements this logic in database adapters. Additionally, adds a utility
`getFieldByPath`.
By default, Payload only attempts to locate the import map file in the following locations:
- `src/app/(payload)/{adminroute}/importMap.js`
- `app/(payload)/{adminroute}/importMap.js`
This is fine for most projects, but sometimes you may want to place the import map - or the Payload admin directory - somewhere else.
This PR adds a new `importMapFile` property that allows you to override this heuristic and specify your own import map path.
Adds new plugin-import-export initial version.
Allows for direct download and creation of downloadable collection data
